recessed light

Flush-mounted ceiling fixture

A recessed light is a lighting fixture installed into a ceiling or wall so that it sits flush with the surface rather than protruding into the room.

Also called a can light or downlight.

Recessed lights create a clean, unobtrusive look and are common in modern residential and commercial spaces: We installed recessed lights throughout the kitchen.
